It appears there might be a disagreement in opinions, as Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Key, has expressed his view that David Beckham is “stupid.”
In response to this comment, Victoria Beckham, David’s wife, swiftly came to his defense. She countered, “You come across as stupid when you are not. He had a different upbringing than me, but he’s not stupid.” She referenced a study conducted by a Swedish university that highlighted footballers scoring high in areas unrelated to traditional intelligence, such as creativity, adaptability to different environments, and speed of thinking.
This exchange sheds light on the diverse perceptions people may have about intelligence, emphasizing that it extends beyond traditional measures and encompasses various skills and attributes.
